Bestseller
Keith
Hernandez
revolutionized
the
role
of
first
baseman.
During
his
illustrious
career
with
the
World
Series-winning
St.
Louis
Cardinals
and
New
York
Mets,
he
was
a
perennial
fan
favorite,
earning
eleven
consecutive
Gold
Gloves,
a
National
League
co-MVP
Award,
and
a
batting
title.
But
it
was
his
unique
blend
of
intelligence,
humor,
and
talent--not
to
mention
his
unflappable
leadership,
playful
antics,
and
competitive
temperament--that
transcended
the
sport
and
propelled
him
to
a
level
of
renown
that
few
other
athletes
have
achieved,
including
his
memorable
appearances
on
the
television
showSeinfeld.
Now,
with
a
striking
mix
of
candor
and
self-reflection,
Hernandez
takes
us
along
on
his
journey
to
baseball
immortality.
There
are
the
hellacious
bus
rides
and
south-of-the-border
escapades
of
his
minor
league
years.
His
major
league
benchings,
unending
plate
adjustments,
and
role
in
one
of
the
most
exciting
batting
races
in
history
against
Pete
Rose.
Indeed,
from
the
Little
League
fields
of
Northern
California
to
the
dusty
proving
grounds
of
triple-A
ball
to
the
grand
stages
of
Busch
Stadium
and
beyond,I'm
Keith
Hernandezreveals
as
much
about
America's
favorite
pastime
as
it
does
about
the
man
himself.
What
emerges
is
an
honest
and
compelling
assessment
of
the
game's
past,
present,
and
future--a
memoir
that
showcases
one
of
baseball's
most
unique
and
experienced
minds
at
his
very
best.

Praise
forI'm

Hernandez
"Meeting Keith when I was 13 remains one of the greatest moments of my life. After reading this book which so accurately describes the grit, dedication, and perseverance it takes to become one of the Baseball's greats, my appreciation for Keith--as a player, as a colleague, and as a friend--has reached new heights. It hits home, as do his keen insights into the game's past, present, and future. If you love baseball, you MUST read this book."—Alex Rodriguez
"As a longtime baseball fan, I appreciated learning about the evolution of one of my favorite ball players--Keith Hernandez. Even when he is writing about his slumps, his book is a hit. I recommend it."—Gay Talese, author ofHigh NotesandA Silent Season of a Hero
"'Don't think,' said Crash Davis to Nuke LaLoosh inBull Durham. 'You can only hurt the ball club.' No one ever said that to Keith Hernandez, the thinking person's ballplayer. 'You're gonna have to learn your clichés,' Crash advised Nuke. 'They're your friends.' This, too, is a rule that, fortunately, Hernandez ignores in this romp through his life before, during and after baseball. Except there is no life after baseball."—George F. Will
"I have known Keith my entire adult life and this revealing and honest autobiography made me smile and weep. Everyone has their own 'bruises' and Keith lets us in on what it takes to survive the troughs and tough times to make himself into the MVP he was and fine man he is today. Incredible perseverance of the human spirit with the help of his family, Keith will always be the greatest ballplayer I ever played with. I'm proud to call him my friend."—Ron Darling
"Poignant and unexpectedly literary."—Sports Illustrated
"Even at 64, Hernandez has maintained the coolness quotient that made him a star in New York more than 30 years ago."—Newsday

Selected for "Behind the Bestsellers" roundup—Publisher's Weekly

Selected for "6 Baseball Books for Mid-season Reading"—Christian Science Monitor
